Sir William Wedderburn
and the Indian Reform Movement Cr. 8v0. By S. K. RATCLIFFE 65.
Sir William Wedderburn was for over thirty years the most distinguished representative in England of the Indian Reform Party. He was for twenty-seven years a member of the Indian Civil Service, rising to high office in Bombay. He was a friend and devoted adherent of Lord Ripon and laboured as a pioneer in vital measures of self-government and rural reconstruction that have in later years been carried into effect. In the ’nineties he was ‘‘ Member for India’? at Westminster. This memoir gives the history of the movement with which he was identified, and traces Wedderburn’s work for the cause of India from the foundation of the Indian National Congress, through the stage of the Morley reforms, to the war and the shaping of the Montagu Act.

Wirn a Prerace sy Proressorn G. DAWES HICKS Demy 8v0. 165,
A translation of the Entretiens sur la Métaphysique—a work generally recognized as giving the most comprehensive account of Malebranche’s metaphysical system.

Indian Philosophy
By S$. RADHAKRISHNAN George V Professor of Philosophy in the University of Calcutta
Demy 8v0. Two vols., 215, each.
The book is the first attempt in English to give a comprehensive view of Indian philosophic thought from its first stirrings in the hymns of the Rig Veda. The author endeavours to set forth, as far as possible in nontechnical language, the origin and growth of Indian thought, throughout bearing in mind the living issues with which Western thinkers are occupied. Vol. 1, which will be shortly published, is complete in itself and deals, among other things, with the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavadgita, Jainism, and Buddhism with its religious and philosophicat developments.
Contributions to Contem porary British Philosophy
Epirep sy Pror. J. H. MUIRHEAD Demy 8v0. 165,
This book aims at giving a picture of the various movements of philosophical thought in Great Britain at the present time in the words of the writers who are their leading representatives. The contributors state each in his own way what they regard as fundamental in philosophy. Many have added a statement of the chief influences that have led them to take an interest in particular problems and to adopt particular lines in the solution of them. The book thus forms a unique record of the results achieved by Contemporary British Philosophers. It will be published in two volumes, of which the first will shortly appear.

Christianity and the Religions of the World
By Dr. ALBERT SCHWEITZER Cr. 8z0. 35. 6d.
Dr. Schweitzer, theologian, musician, doctor and missionary, in these two lectures delivered before the Selly Oak Colleges, Birmingham, seeks to set forth in the clearest terms the unique nature of Christianity. Religion, in his view, should not claim to solve all mysteries and answer ali questions. Religion, rather, is the surrender of our will toa mysterious purpose of love that comes to us out of the Eternal and lives in us. Through its assertion of this principle Christianity stands distinct from the other world religions. Dr. Schweitzer has been called “a Zinzendorf in the garb of a philosopher,” and this book shows a remarkable combination of intellectual freedom with evangelical zeal.

Penetrating the wall of propaganda which has been buiJt about this part of the world, he lived many months with the Russians of the Far East.
